Excerpted from - ॐ Mani Pamde Hum #1, OSHO speaks about the Tibetan Mantra - "ॐ Mani Padme Hum" which is considered as one of the most beautiful expression for the ultimate experience.
"The only country in the world which has devoted all its genius
for the inner exploration is Tibet.
Its findings are of tremendous value.
ॐ Mani Pamde Hum - is one of the most beautiful expression for the ultimate experience. Its meaning is the sound of silence. The Diamond in the lotus."
The mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful,
because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say
the first syllable "Om" it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the
practice of generosity, "Ma" helps perfect the practice of pure ethics,
and "Ni" helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and
patience. "Päd", the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, "Me" helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable "Hum" helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom.
So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these six perfections is the path walked by all the Buddhas of the three times. What could then be more meaningful than to say the mantra and accomplish the six perfections?"
The six syllables purify the six realms of existence in suffering.
ॐ Mani Padme Hum
